  It looked and smelled lovely as I took it out of the oven. The moment I tipped it out of the tin and left it to cool on a wire rack, it rapidly started sinking to a dense, heavy, stodgy cake. I would not make this again :o(

  Made this and loved it. I made in individual little loaves and it turned out really well. I am just about to make it again but will try it in a loaf tin this time.

  This was a huge success for my 1st attempt will defo be one of those cakes that I make time & time again. I added a couple of drops of lemon juice to prevent the banana from going brown and added two tablespoons of coconut - Delious

  Took everyones advice and used butter instead of marg, it was fantastic! I use the word 'was' as it lasted about 10 minutes... It was quite dense and very moist, just how a good banana cake should be. Nom!

  A really brilliant recipe. Quick, simple and probably the lightest banana cake you'll eat. My friend couldn't believe it was a banana cake because it was so light and demanded the recipe on the spot.

  I'm normally quite successful at the old cake baking but this one didn't come out too well. I followed the ingredients and timing as the recipe but set the oven to 140 as it's a fan so not sure whether this is why the cake sank and is slightly stodgy, as a lot of people have noticed. I want to try it again so can people let me know what they've done differently to get a successful result. Thanks
